>>60746012
Meant for the ugly tower >>60744273
>>60746012
It's a pretty JUST tier tower, but it's gotten better in recent times as it gradually gets more company.
>>60746388
I don't really want it to get more company tbf
>>60746012
It doesn't look that bad at night tho
>>60745739
If you like it, I'm happy for you:-)
>>60746954
Eh, it's far enough away from the historical stuff. If Paris can, Lyon can too. Just need to make it seem more natural, and only way to accomplish that is building a few more towers.
>>60747007
Well most cities look cool at night anyway, but yeah Lyon is very nice in that aspect since you have lots of places to get a good view
>>60747228
Luckily the 300km of tunnels under Paris prevent from building to high in the middle of the city
meme towers you say?

>>60751174
why doesn't America have buildings that take up the street. There's just something so clean about it.
What's the best style of gothic
>>60751774
Brabantse gotiek according to me, but I really like the gothic style of north-Italy either.
How to into architecture?
>>60751774
Venetian
>>60751774
Styles as in regional variants? I guess English Gothic if so. It's massive, brutal and imposing, though I guess France and much of Southern Europe in general has the most ornately beautiful examples.
>>60751281
>Paris sure is copypasted.
>>60751774
I'll go with the first one, the French one
A bit biased but it's honestly my favorite

This building makes no attempt at being anything other than mass human storage, the modernist tower block revived for the bubble epoch. It will likely be a financial failure for being too ambitious while being too redundant. If I were to take an apartment there, it would be impossible for me to tell which window is mine from the outside. What does this say about the people who built it? That they took the easiest path to financial income. What does this say about the people who will live there? That they have nowhere else to go. It is and will remain an alien in the neighborhood, a product that removes identity instead of contributing to it.
bumping this thread with no survivors

>>60762659
I really hate large blocks like these.
>>60762356
pretty easy m8, just look for the patterns then look for the things that stick out i.e. the non-patterns
